| Barack Obama has lied about the terrorist attack on the American Consulate in Libya for over 15 days, even going so far as to overtly imply that this attack was prompted by an obscure internet movie trailer in his speech at the United Nations two weeks after it was confirmed the White House knew it was an Al Qaeda sponsored attack. Additionally, during the current campaign the lies and obfuscations about Mitt Romney and the Republicans have been so fast and furious that it is nearly impossible to keep up with them.

Excuse a second post - my post above was before I read the article - I'm getting ready to leave to go substitute teach in a history classs. Now that I've read the article, this should/must be a MUST READ. The message must be sent to the American people in loud and clear communication.
This simple sentence sums up our national situation: His failings can no longer be excused by this historical deference or timidity fostered by race with the euphemisms of spin or politics as usual being used to avoid the truth.

GOOD GRIEF.
Little Georgie on GMA just admitted that Obama's lead is "razor thin".
You know if little Georgie admits this it must be really, really bad for The Won.
Here is something you can do.
Our County GOP purchased 1,000 Romney signs. On Sunday we had a "fee Romney signs" event. Had the kids waiving signs on a busy 4 lane hwy. Gave away over 300 signs in 2 hrs and collected enough donations to cover the cost.
People are hungry to do their little part.

Besides BHO being a liar,what should also be extremely troubling are those people who believe his untruths and who are unwilling to read, hear or see the truth. Many of those people who believed his lies in 2008 will do it again November 2012.

Is that even a question? And if so, blame the Brian William's of this world for never ever countering anything Obama says, or any of the ads featuring refuted thesis. And also blame Romney, for not speaking up more roundly----or using his surrogates (most of whom have been sitting patiently waiting to be used) to refute. Univision SHOULD have made Williams and company slink off in shame, but I am sure it didn't.

I think, a little late in the game, Georgie Porgie of GMA and other media hacks are trying to save themselves. They have ALSO been exposed as liars and persons of offensive, undesirable character. .... It's too late. The entire world recognizes that neither America's president nor his propaganda media are trustworthy.

Obama lying? This is just another of the character traits of this President.
I guess the question is this, in your life would you hang around with someone who lies to your face? Most of us wouldn't because lying shows a deep seated flaw in character. Why then are people ready to vote this guy into office?

While lying is all too common in America in recent years, there is also the strong probability that Obama's background promotes "taqiyya", the Muslim Q'uran-mandated lying in order to hide one's true intentions regarding Islam.
So while O's childhood situation and his lifelong necessity to lie to keep his ineptness secret exist, there's also cultural necessity, due to his Islam, that mandates lying.
What we have here is something we have not been used to in past generations -- people who lie with impugnity because they are never held accountable for their lies. Just once, I'd like to see this POTUS, Eric Holder, liberals in Congress, the media and the entire Administration held to account for their lies and deliberate obfuscation.
Perhaps with all his supporters now emerging from their stupor and seeing what O really is, we just might see some action.
Watergate looks pretty tame about now, doesn't it?

No. In order to lie, you must be able to recognize truth. Zero does not deal with truth. So far as he is concerned, there is his re-election. There is nothing else. Whatever he needs to say at a particular moment in time, he will say. by the time of the next sentence, the sentence just uttered is forgotten, as if it had never been spoken. Truth/lie does not apply. Can he be trusted? Of course not, we know that from painful experience. His promises are without content and without meaning. WYSIWYG.

He needs to be a much better liar if he expects to get away with it.
A 'balanced attack" requires that lies be carefully interwoven with the truth, like mixing the run with the pass. Lying from'Whole Cloth' is a very risky business. Effective,wholesale lying is not a lazy person's game.

Remember, the press told us that everyone lies and many times it's the right thing to do save the self esteem of others. It's PC you know.

I am so sick of lying Obama, the real cold hearted racist. And his racist wife. The lying racist Eric Holder who now appears to have led an 'armed' take over of ROTC at Columbia while in college. The drunkard Hillary Clinton and her Muslim colleague Huma. The Iranian Valerie Jarret. I am sick of rap music and a stupid way of talking. Baggy clothes and loud mouths. And punks like Samuel Jackson with no character. Especially the muslim loving MSM who holds Americans in contempt. We now have murder and mayhem in our streets and instead of a voting day, we have a voting month. The US Government is a liar, the Media is a liar, the president is a liar, the public schools are liars. The entertainment industry are liars. America is being eaten up by evil.

Huh? I thought most of us were agreed back in 2008 that Obama was a pathological liar, and many of us thought that it was a manifestation of his being afflicted with narcissistic personality disorder. (See "Dreams of My Father" and his other opus). Like most pathological liars, Obama will tell a lie even when telling the truth would serve him better.

BHO is pulling the same kind of diversionary fast ones I used to pull, way way back when I was an airheaded teenybopper. Sometimes it worked. Other times I was caught red-handed, exposed for all the world to see what a phony, pathetic bee ess dispenser I was. Well, I’m a lot older and a lot wiser now, thank you very much.
Face it! In BHO, we have the world’s oldest (chronologically anyway) airheaded teenybopper. Not a problem, unless you count the fact that he “works” not in (appropriately) some corporate mailroom, but in our nation’s exalted Oval Office.
We’ve had four long years to fully evaluate just how blatantly fraudulent this guy is. So did the media. But, rather than doing their job, they chose to ignore their job.
For those liberals who are heavily into chanting, here’s one:
Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! Barack Obama has got to go. Out the door!

The very core of the core of the core of Democrat leftism is a lie, which is - socialism is good for people. Or as Lightworker put it, "It's good to spread the wealth around". Or as they cleverly disguise it, "compassion" and "fairness". Since the root of the root of the root is a malicious, malignant lie, it is only natural that every word that exudes from Democrats is a lie, including the commas, periods and spaces between the words. Obama is only the tip of the iceberg. The Lie is their center, their core.

No, like all commies/fascists he is not a compulsive liar. He (they) always say one thing meaning something else. Of course, they have to say that what they do is for the good of the people! You don't expect them (hitler, stalin, kim, chavez, castro, mugabe) to say "I hate you, I don't care about you, I am going to rape you and everybody else into submission, and even after that!", right? They hate talking, but they have to - they have to kiss the kids, embrace the people, tap their shoulders (that looks so phony) and smile till their facial muscles hurt like hell! We can only imagine what they think in moments like these and what they say when the door closes!

The most destructive lying person in our history is in the highest office, supported by a vast network of paid-to-lie TV union and non union conspirators. His deep seated raging, vindictive, "unresolved psychological problems" are brilliantly described in the new E book THE DESTRUCTIVE PRESIDENT, by Paul M Fick, PhD, the forensic psychologist, who brought you his 1996 book THE DYSFUNCTIONAL PRESIDENT, all about the pathological liar, Bill Clinton. It also predicted his sexual compulsiveness and became a bestseller when Monica Lewinsky appeared in the Drudge headlines.
Several superb descriptive pages of his new book on the outwardly cool, by torrentially raging Obama are at the author's site www.destructivepresident.com

Sociopath. A malignant narcissist will have sociopathic tendencies as he has no concern with anything other than himself and what he believes revolves around himself which in 0bama's case is the entire world. The more 0bama believes about the tremendous lies he keeps telling the more dangerous he is to us.

the electorate is the saddest thing.that so many would consider this entity.but Obama is so much fun: He sings, he dances, he has a talk-show host demeanor. He floats up the stairs or down th stairs. Talks in that phony southern accent. Sets up straw men and knowks them down to applause. And those sad goofs behind him laughing it up. big goofy smile. I always wondered how the industrialists could back hitler before WWII. Now I can see.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a Republican who served under George W. Bush, declared his support for a second term of President Barack Obama."I voted for him in 2008, and I plan to stick with him in 2012," Powell said Thursday during an interview with CBS's "This Morning." "I'll be voting for he and for Vice President Joe Biden next month." Powell said he believed Obama's economic policies were helpful in turning around the sluggish economy and he criticized Republican challenger Mitt Romney's stance on foreign policy.

The polls say voters want more bipartisanship, and one possibility in 2013 is tax reform that trades lower rates for fewer loopholes. Well, so much for that. The man who wants to be the next leader of the Senate Democrats has declared that this "old-style of tax reform is obsolete."

Barack Obama has lied about the terrorist attack on the American Consulate in Libya for over 15 days, even going so far as to overtly imply that this attack was prompted by an obscure internet movie trailer in his speech at the United Nations two weeks after it was confirmed the White House knew it was an Al Qaeda sponsored attack. Additionally, during the current campaign the lies and obfuscations about Mitt Romney and the Republicans have been so fast and furious that it is nearly impossible to keep up with them.

When it first became clear that the CIA’s Benghazi talking points had been altered, many of us viewed the White House as the prime suspect. After all, it served President Obama’s political purposes to claim, at the height of a political campaign in which he was taking credit for the fall of al Qaeda, that the death of a U.S. ambassador was down to spontaneous outrage over a video, rather than pre-planned terrorism. It turns out, however, that the State Department was the prime culprit. It was State that pushed back hard against the original talking points.

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

If ponies rode men and grass ate cows, And cats were chased into holes by the mouse … If summer were spring and the other way round, Then all the world would be upside down. Once in a long while, an event evokes one of my favorite historical images: the British Army band, at Lord Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown which sealed the Americans’ revolutionary victory, playing “The World Turned Upside Down.” In this case, the event is the dramatic change over the past two weeks

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001. It’s a remarkable comeback for a man many pundits had written off after his highly publicized affair with an Argentine

Top ABC News editor Don Ennis walked into his Manhattan office on Friday in a “little black dress” and a brunette bobbed wig and announced to colleagues that from now on, he would like to be known as Dawn.

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, tells Benghazi witnesses that "death is a part of life." CUMMINGS: And, as I listen to your testimony I could not help but think of something that I said very recently -- two years ago now -- in a eulogy for a relative. I said that death is a part of life, so often we have to find a way to make life a part of death. And, I guess the reason why I´m saying that, going back to something Mr. Nordstrom said, he wanted,

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee took to the House floor Monday night and implied that the right to health care and education exists in the Constitution. Ms. Jackson Lee, Texas Democrat, also made the case that the moral authority for such services is also derived from the Declaration of Independence. “One might argue that education and health care fall into those provisions of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” she said. Ms. Jackson Lee added, “I think that what should be continuously emphasized is the president’s leadership on one single point: that although health care was not

From the start, the Obama administration’s account of what happened in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11 last year didn’t quite square for Sharyl Attkisson. So the veteran CBS News reporter dug in, and kept digging. The result: Attkisson has been a persistent voice of news-media skepticism about the government’s story. On the air and online, Attkisson has questioned the administration’s timeline and its response. (Snip) While other media, particularly Fox News, have been similarly skeptical about the official narrative about Benghazi, Attkisson and CBS might put the story in a different light. As a much-decorated reporter from a news
